The specificity of ionophore A23187 in cation transport across lipid membranes. Studies with lecithin vesicles.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lecithin vesicles containing different cations were prepared by sonication and characterized. When the concentration of the divalent cations in the buffer was increased from 1 mM to about 100 mM the cation-concentration inside of the vesicles did not increase proportional to the outside concentration, but showed a saturation behaviour. The efflux of various cations mediated by ionophore A23187 was measured and relative transport-rates were determined. The following sequence was obtained: Zn2+ > Ca2+ > Mg2+ > Sr2+ > Ba2+ approximately Li+ > Na+. The efflux of Ca2+ increased proportional to the square of the A23187-concentration. To lecithin-vesicles containing ethylenediamine tetraacetate (EDTA) inside different cations were added on the outside. In the presence of A23187 divalent cations are transported into the vesicles and bound there by EDTA. During the influx of Me2+-ions into vesicles a H+-efflux was observed. The resulting pH-decrease was measured. The rate of the pH-change depended on the Me2+-ion used. The sequence was: Cd2+ > Zn2+ > Ca2+ > Mn2+ > MG2+ > Sr2+, Ba2+.

Exchange diffusion of dopamine induced in planar lipid bilayer membranes by the ionophore X537A
The ionophore X537A causes a large increase in the [(14)C]dopamine (a catecholamine) permeability of planar bilayer membranes. Dopamine transport increases linearly with the ionophore concentration. At relatively high concentrations in the presence of dopamine, the ionophore omdices a conductance which is nearly ideally selective for the dopamine cation. However, the total dopamine flux as dete...

متن کاملLanthanide-ion transport across phospholipid vesicular membranes: a comparison of alamethicin 30 and A23187 using 1H-NMR spectroscopy.
The kinetics of Pr 3+ transport by the ionophores alamethicin 30 and A23187 across unilamellar phospho-lipid vesicular membranes has been compared by following the time-dependent changes in the IH-NMR spectrum of the vesicles. The measured rates of transport allow stoichiometries of the transporting species to be deduced which are consistent with channel-and carrier-mediated mechanisms respecti...

In contrast to the sarcoplasmic reticulum + here potassium channels have been clearly ...
متن کاملCation transport and specificity of ionomycin. Comparison with ionophore A23187 in rat liver mitochondria.
Based on the effects of ionomycin upon mitochondrial respiration, ionomycin was shown to be an effective ionophore for Ca2+ in rat liver mitochondria. The ionomycin-induced efflux of Ca2+ across the inner membrane was more sensitive to loading the mitochondria with Ca2+ than was efflux catalyzed by A23187. At saturating concentrations of Ca2+, the turnover number for ionomycin was 3- to 5-fold ...
